where parallels meet

A whole set of parallel lines in motion, drawn in black and white or taken from real shots.

first movement: steps of the waterfall at the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris, fountains on the forecourt of the Burg Khalifa tower in Dubai, reflections of the lights in the port of Abu Dhabi, sands flowing from the dunes of Quatar,

second movement: cranes in Persian Gulf ports, refinery chimneys on the Detroit River, salt tracks on the Salar D'Uyuni,

third movement: tours of Persian Gulf cities,

fourth movement: reflections of Abu Dhabi harbour lights again, ski tracks in the snow at Megève.

In the final stage of seawater glaciation, the ice floes fracture as the icebreaker passes over them.

 

sea ice

Some stages in the glaciation of sea water in three movements, without too many drawn elements, but with different modes of fusion of real shots taken along the coast of Antarctica.

 

 

sharp edges

Icebergs, glacier fronts or broken ice floes: the sharp edges of the ice intersect with sharp patterns.

Some of the actual shots were taken during a cruise along the coast of Antarctica from Adelie Land to the Peninsula; the swell and the ship's bumps against the drifting ice sometimes affected the stability of the camera.
